Aldebaran

Aldebaran is a stellar reference in Tau used by the weekly observing calendar.

Why it is here: The Calendar selected Aldebaran for this week’s fixed-sky observing sequence; its permanent object identity ties the weekly entry to the same star used by the finder.

How to find it: Use Orion's three Belt stars as a pointer westward toward orange Aldebaran and the Hyades V.
